Parking ban to ease vehicular movement

Parking ban to ease vehicular movement

The order is being enforced near the Kittur Channamma Circle


HUBLI: With a view to ensure free vehicular movement at the Kittur Channamma Circle, the Hubli-Dharwad Police Commissionerate has declared an area of 300 metres around the circle as non-hawking zone and banned vehicle parking in the area.

Narayan Nadamani, Police Commissioner, Hubli-Dharwad, has in a release said at present vendors are using the footpath around the circle for their business and vehicles are being parked haphazardly which is leading to frequent traffic snarls.

The Commissioner of Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation had also requested for an order to ban parking of vehicles at the circle and declare it as non-hawking zone. The decision has been taken after an inspection, Mr. Nadamani has said.

He has also said that the police officers have been asked to take action against violations.

The step is being viewed as a complementary measure to the efforts of the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation to give a facelift to Kittur Channamma Circle and also streamline vehicular traffic.

The municipal corporation has begun constructing pedestrian overbridges at several places to help commuters cross roads safely. It has also chalked out a plan to beautify the Kittur Channamma Circle. A few days ago, a structure that was used for parking vehicles was removed.
